Hi everyone
In order to have a standard model of a machine and to be able to manage the dimensions of the different components (I tried to export an equation file from the Excel and it didn't work) so I created a family of parts with a single configuration and it worked, On the other hand I encountered 03 problems:
1- I can't save the family of parts in an external file in order to be able to insert it in other solidworks files, because I'm working on a standardization theme of the same category of machines so it's the same equations with some modifications for each type.
2- My dimensions on the 3D model are blocked by the family of parts and I can't make any changes.
3-For the rest of my work, I need to insert new dimensions in the part family so I used ....@Esquisse... (a solution I saw on the solidworks tutorial) in the table on Excel but the software doesn't recognize them!!!
I wanted to know if we should create a new family of parts every time we add a dimension? or, we can add directly to the family that we have already created,
Thanks in advance
